$1,000 in the construction of an iron bridge
across the mill pond at Fairfield village. The
sum raised at the March meeting was $1,000.
Preliminary measures were taken toward the
building of a town hall. 1t is the plan Of
those living at the village to call special tow n
meetings at such times that those living in
the remote parts of the town cannot attend on
account of bad going, or other circumstances,
and then lavishly raise money for the bcnetit
of the village. There is a growing agitation
